Key Features:

The electronic version
of the dictionary has the same content as its paper equivalent,
but is much easier to use.

All short forms and
abbreviations used in the dictionary are explained in full in
the pop-up prompts when pointing the cursor on them.

All the headwords
in the dictionary are spoken by professional native speakers.

The dictionary is
fully cross-referenced, i.e. by clicking on any word in the explanation
section you can see the definition of this word and then easily
revert to the original section.

It also includes a
quick search facility.

The software includes
crosswords - the
traditional and ever-popular pastime - which are built up automatically,
using the dictionary database. The crosswords are built according
to levels of difficulty: Learning, Normal and Difficult.

The Dictionary includes
various computer-based learning exercises
to expand vocabulary and practice spelling and pronunciation.

The AudioPad module is designed
to teach correct pronunciation. You can listen to original speech
spoken by a professional native speaker and also record and listen
to your own speech. This enables you to imitate all the nuances
of the pronunciation with the utmost precision.
